Animal Collective co-founders and co-lead vocalists Avey Tare and Panda Bear have teamed up for a new song together, “Vampire Tongues.” It’s a solo song for Avey with Panda Bear joining as a guest, and here’s what Avey says about it:
Right now the basic process of making music is more important to me than any outcome. It’s a process of learning. Collaboration is as much about learning from someone as it is creating something with someone. There’s a nice surprise element. I wonder, what is this person going to do with this idea? Where is this song going to go when someone else is guiding the ship? I’m doing the research. Here’s me attempting to learn something from my old friend Noah.
It’s a gooey, whimsical, and at times kinda eerie psychedelic pop song–exactly the kind of thing that these two have always been great at. Listen and watch the visualizer below.
